I feel the need to share - John McCain stayed in the same Hilton I was shacked up in while in NYC. I got to see him whizz by in his motorcade while thousands of our tax dollars at work stood by and maintained "crowd control."
As his car came down the street, his white hair gleaming as he benevolently waved and smiled to his adoring fans, I blew him a raspberry.
I couldn't help it. It was an involuntary response to authority.
By the chants of "OBAMA! OBAMA!" I wasn't the only one.

Losers' Club Takes a Train Ride - the Sequel
So, what's better than being on an Amtrak train with your crazy boss for five hours on a Friday night?
How about, getting stuck on that train for an extra three hours because the train in front of yours on the tracks has passengers that are rioting.
Seriously.
Apparently, the commuter rail riders Friday night got fed up with their train breaking down and stopping. So they got off the train. In the middle of the track. And just, you know, decided to walk to the station instead.
Our train was stopped in the name of safety until they could round up all the nouveau pedestrians.
And all the while, my boss was TapTapTap on her latop.
I probably should have continued to work in kind but - honestly - I'd had enough. It was 8 p.m. on Friday and I'd been with her every moment except for the five I was sleeping, for two days. I was DONE.
From now on, I'm going to warn everyone when I get onto a train. Warning: Riding a train with Kalesy will result in delayed arrivals. And insanity ensues.
